Epoxy Flooring in Riverside, MO

Riverside sits on the edge of the Missouri River in Platte County, and we install epoxy flooring there in garages, basements and small commercial spaces. The city was incorporated in 1951. For decades it stayed small. Then it grew quickly. The 2020 census counted 4,013 people, up 36.6% from 2,937 in 2010.

What fast growth means for floors

When a small city adds people that fast, it usually adds homes and buildings too. That gives Riverside two kinds of slabs side by side. There are older floors from the decades after incorporation, and there are newer ones. Each needs different prep.

Older slabs may have paint, sealer, oil stains, cracks or chipped joints. We grind all of that down to sound concrete and repair it before coating.

Newer slabs are often smooth, hard and troweled. A store kit with an acid etch rarely gets a good grip on that kind of surface. Diamond grinding opens it up so the coating can bond. New concrete also needs time to cure before it is coated, so we ask when the slab was poured.

A town of families

In 2020, 34.1% of Riverside households had children under 18, and the median age was 35.0. Family garages work hard. They hold bikes, sports gear, a second fridge and two cars, and they take in mud, slush and spilled drinks. The systems we suggest most often here:

• Flake epoxy floors that hide dirt between cleanings and give little feet some grip
• Polyaspartic topcoats that cure fast, so the garage is back in use sooner
• Basement floor epoxy for playrooms, home gyms and laundry areas

Near the river

Riverside's location on the Missouri River shapes the ground under it. If your home or shop sits on lower ground, we check the slab for moisture from below before we pick a primer. Damp concrete can push a coating off from underneath. A simple test at the estimate tells us if we need a moisture-tolerant primer. If water is actually coming in at a wall or crack, we tell you that first.

Small businesses and work floors

Riverside has a casino along the river, and it has shops and service businesses along its main roads. Its history includes a horse track and later a car racing track. For owners of shops, garages and service bays, we install commercial and warehouse floor epoxy. Those systems are thicker and built for tools, rolling loads and fluids.

What you get from us

• A free on-site visit with a moisture check
• A written price that names the system, each coat and the prep work
• Full diamond grinding with dust collection
• Crack and joint repair before the base coat
• Clear times for walking, moving back in and parking

Timing your project

Spring and fall are the easiest seasons for curing, but we work year-round in garages and basements that stay within the product's temperature range. On the day of the job, we check slab temperature, air temperature and humidity. If conditions are wrong for the product, we would rather move the date than put down a coating that will not cure right. Plan to clear the garage the night before. We handle the rest, from grinding to the final coat.
